Default Month 7, 98 pounds lost on atkin's WOE

I have been doing induction amounts since March and have thus lost 98 pounds, total goal is to lose 200, which is a LOT, but I am nearly halfway there and do not imaine myself stopping anytime soon, like, in my lifetime. I am more energetic, overall healthier not only because of the weight loss, but because of sufficient water intake, and I believe, I had quite an intolerance to carbs before beginning this WOE.

I used to be plagued by stomach pain on a normal basis, now have absolutely none. Also prone to urinary tract infections, I no longer deal with those most likely due to the water intake. I also have not been sick since shortly after beginning (a cold, at best, which normally would last for weeks, lasted but a mere four days).

What does all of this mean? Well, I hope to at least encourage somebody whom is considering this WOE, to try it out..when I began I promised myself I would adhere to it like a ritual for 6 months..6 months of my life is but a mere miniscule timeframe, especially when trying to better overall health. Boy, was I not prepared for these results!!! In passing the 6 month mark, I had thoroughly cemented my decision to never go back to the way I used to eat.

YOU CAN DO THIS, anyone can...while LC products tend to be a bit more pricey, even I find that I am spending way less than I used to, and this was a time when I would buy McDonalds or cakes and lower priced goodies loaded with sugars. I eat less and am SATISFIED, unlike any other type of diet I have tried. If you are new and just considering the LC lifestyle, here is one woman who shows it CAN be done, even with ZERO willpower, with a strong addiction to sweets, and with personal demons which have supressed my success in the past.

Much luck and success to everyone who reads this board, and I hope that my writings at least encourage one person to take that plunge for their health and overall well-being.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEIGHTLOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


At this time, I'm a little wishywashy on beginning my lowcarb lifestyle. I guess a part of me feels like I could never be a success story---like yourself. I'm a newbie and your encouragement is much appreciated. I wish you much success and happiness and I just wanted to say "Thank You!"
